Chapter 153 - 147: Solas Ember
David Jones glanced at the elixirs on the stage, which were the materials for making Starfall Elixirs provided by the Pharmacist Guild. There were two sets prepared, meaning he only had one chance to fail.
Although the Pharmacist Guild had prepared the materials for the candidates beforehand, the candidates still had to bear the cost of the materials. Of course, the elixirs refined by the candidates belonged to them as well.
With a slight movement of David’s psychic power, a dozen or so herbs on the stage slowly fell into the Aurora Cauldron.
Under the control of the Afterglow Array, the violent Aurora Flame was as gentle as a kitten, easily purifying the many elixirs into Herb Essences.
Law Forestdell nodded slightly, watching David wield his psychic power with ease and his smooth Alchemy techniques, he thought to himself: “He truly lives up to his reputation. Such terrifying cultivation talent to awaken psychic power at a young age, and judging from the psychic power he has shown so far, it’s estimated that he’s not far from a Class IV Arcane Star!”
He slowly calmed his astonishment, and then stared intently at the ever-changing green flames in David’s cauldron, feeling more and more familiar as he looked on.
“This Fire-Control Technique is exactly like Rosalind Louise’s refining technique. Could he be Rosalind’s disciple?”
At this thought, Law Forestdell felt a huge sense of regret. What a pity that such an outstanding Alchemy genius had been snatched away by someone else so early!
Although David’s awakened innate talent was for identifying, his current display of powerful psychic power indicated that if he could continue to maintain such terrifying progress, even pharmacists who had awakened Alchemy innate talent would pale in comparison.
However, as one advanced further, it became increasingly difficult for pharmacists to improve their psychic power, and instead, the pharmacists who awakened Alchemy innate talent could turn the situation around.
As time went by, a faint red glow flashed inside the cauldron, and three mysterious elixir souls accompanied the red Starfall Elixirs flying out of the cauldron.
The elixirs fell into David’s Jade Bottle under the control of his psychic power, while the elixir souls automatically entered his eyes.
Looking at the rounded elixir in the Jade Bottle, David showed a satisfied expression. This time, refining the Starfall Elixir felt as if divine assistance had contributed to his sense of impending success even before reaching the elixir condensing stage.
As expected, not only did he succeed in refining the elixir, but the quality of the elixir also reached an excellent level. The elixir soul born from the elixir was even slightly more robust than before.
The quality of elixirs is divided into four levels according to the elixir power purification degree: ordinary, good, excellent, and perfect.
An ordinary-quality elixir has a purity of more than 60%, a good-quality elixir has a purity of more than 70%, an excellent-quality elixir has a purity of more than 80%, and a perfect-quality elixir has a purity of more than 90 A.
As for elixirs with a 100% purification degree, it is likely that only the legendary Saint of Pharmacist could create them.
David raised his head and looked curiously at Guildmaster Forestdell, whose expression was calm in the distance.
He wanted to know if Guildmaster Forestdell, a King Level Trainer and Senior Alchemist, could detect the traces of elixir soul.
But for now, the mystery of the elixir soul was so high that even a King-Level Strong One could not detect it!
David handed the Jade Bottle in his hand to Guildmaster Forestdell, who walked up slowly and waited quietly for the assessment result.
Guildmaster Forestdell examined the quality of the Starfall Elixir closely, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, and then he said with a smile, “Congratulations on passing the Primary Alchemist examination and becoming an official Flare I Alchemist.”
Before the Star Calendar, the division of alchemists was quite simple, with a total of nine levels. The lowest level was Flare I Alchemist, and the highest level, Flare IX Alchemist, was the Saint of Pharmacist.
However, with the continuous advancement of technology, some Class III and lower elixirs could be automatically refined through machines made by researchers.
As a result, the Pharmacist Guild divided Flare I and Flare II Alchemists into Junior Alchemists, and Flare III and Flare IV into Intermediate Alchemists. Although the machines consumed a lot of materials when producing elixirs, the success rate was very low, and the quality was only ordinary, but it also brought a severe impact on some Junior Alchemists who lacked academic expertise.
“Thank you, senior.” David nodded slightly.
Law Forestdell then took a book from his Star Ring and handed it to David.
“The making of the Pharmacist Badge will take some time. This is the Pharmacist Guild’s rules and regulations, as well as some precautions. Every pharmacist who joins the guild needs to understand them.
David Jones carefully took the books.
It seemed that those elixirs that he could smell but not taste were too tempting. Rainbow, who was coiling around his wrist, couldn’t resist any longer and simply closed its eyes to sleep.
“Yawn!” Co–), z Z (I’m sleeping!)
Seeing this, David couldn’t help but laugh, and then followed Guildmaster Forestdell out of the assessment area.
A moment later, Law Forestdell handed over a delicately-made badge with a gorgeous appearance, engraved with a cauldron and a dazzling Big Sun above it, which represented the identity of a Primary Pharmacist, to David.
Then he explained, “By using the identity chip inside the badge, you can log in directly to the Pharmacist Guild’s member website with your mobile phone and accept or issue some tasks related to pharmacy.”
“Alright,” David nodded.
With this badge as a guarantee, he would finally be able to sell the Starfall Elixirs piled up in his Star Ring!
Watching David’s figure disappear, Law Forestdell’s expression suddenly became very interesting.
“If he can casually refine a high-grade Starfall Elixir, then he could also effortlessly refine those ordinary Class II elixirs!”
“How could an 18-year-old, with an ordinary background, possess a Flare II Alchemist with a Class III Arcane Star? This world is truly insane!”
On the other side, in the suburbs of Waterland City.
In a neat and exquisite laboratory, Rosalind Louise was staring intently at the experimental data on the screen, her expression filled with seriousness.
Next to her was a refined-looking middle-aged man with elegant manners. Gregory Louise, Rosalind’s biological father, a King-level Trainer, the head of the Louise family in Waterland City, and the actual controlling shareholder of Ragdoll Mall.
[Experiment Name): Solas Ember
[Experimental Object]: Sun Ragdoll
“Species Level”]: King
[Target Level]: Overlord
[Evolution Material]: Obsidian Flame Dragon Crystal Core (Class VII), Hengyang Red Crystal (one), Refining Fire Crystal (three), Solar Crystal (five), Crystal Vine (ten), top-grade Crystal Arcane Crystal (large amount), top-grade Fire Arcane Crystal (large amount)
[Scheduled Experiment Success Rate]:79-98%
At this moment, even the experienced Gregory Louise was somewhat nervous. After all, the Sun Ragdoll about to undergo evolution in the distance was his long-time companion, and he couldn’t allow any mistakes, but the almost 80% success rate was tempting enough for him to take a risk.
“The preparation work for the Epic evolution has been going on for more than half a month, and the concentration standard of Fire Arcane Force inside is already sufficient. Success or failure rests on this.”
Rosalind’s eyes flashed with determination, and then she pressed the button in front of her..
